Book cheap flights to Reunion Island

Reunion Island, a dramatic volcanic island, offers diverse experiences. Hikers and nature lovers can explore the active Piton de la Fournaise volcano or trek through UNESCO-listed cirques like Mafate and Salazie, known for stunning waterfalls like Bridal Veil. The west coast provides protected lagoons and beaches such as Plage de l'Ermitage and Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, ideal for swimming and relaxation. Adventure seekers can enjoy canyoning or paragliding, while those interested in culture can explore the unique Creole heritage. The island caters to families and those seeking unique natural environments.

The best time to visit Reunion Island is during the dry austral winter, from May to October, offering pleasant temperatures and clear skies perfect for hiking. Be aware that July and August are peak season. Allow 7 to 10 days to experience both coastal attractions and the mountainous interior; a comprehensive exploration might take up to 20 days. Many travelers combine their trip with nearby Indian Ocean islands like Mauritius or Madagascar, and Kiwi.com's Nomad tool can help you plan a multi-city route for these adventures. You'll arrive at Roland Garros Airport (RUN) near Saint-Denis, and a rental car is highly recommended for exploring the island’s varied landscapes.
